Bug ID: 7491
Summary: Improve SA test suite by moving to Test::More
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Regression Tests
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: Undefined
We are planning to submit several patches to the SA project. This is my first
attempt.
I propose moving the test suite from using Test to using Test::More, which has
been available in core perl since 5.6.2. SA appears to not function below 5.8,
so this doesn't really add any significant deps.
This patch has several benefits:
1. It provides better TAP output explaining why tests were skipped via the use
of skip_all
2. It opens up the opportunity for skip blocks in code so you don't need to
have varying test counts.
3. It gets rid of a significant number of BEGIN blocks (though some had to be
kept to retain original behavior)
4. It makes additional modernization (use vars) of the code possible.
Patch pending.
